classdef Controller < handle
    %Controller is a memoryless controller
    %
    %   Controller methods:
    %
    %   computeInput - (Abstract) see help Controller.computeInput
    %
    %   	u = computeInput(t,x)
    %
    %   x - it can be :
    %       state estimate, if a state observer is used
    %       output        , if an output equation is specified
    %       state         , otherwise
    %   
    %
    %   t - time/step number
    %   u - control input
    %
    %      u = computeInput(t,x,readings)
    %
    %   readings{i}{j} - jth sensor reading of the ith neighborhood of
    %   the system in the network defined in the VirtualArena.
    %
    %e.g.:
    %
%     classdef MyController < Controller
%         
%     properties
%         par
%     end
%     
%     methods
%         function obj = MyController(par)
%             obj.par = par; 
%         end
%         function u = computeInput(obj,t,x)
%             par = obj.par,
%             u = ...;
%         end         
%     end
